Hot-air ballooning through space: the promise of mini-magnetospheric plasma propulsion

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the possibilities of theories put forward by Robert Winglee, a geophysicist at the University of Washington, for sailing through space using solar wind as a method of propulsion. Under Winglee's proposals, dubbed Mini-Magnetospheric Plasma Propulsion, a spacecraft would generate a magnetic bubble around itself which would then catch the solar wind to push itself through space.
